Magnetostratigraphy of a Middle Jurassic red bed sequence from southern Mexico

Palaeomagnetic results for 178 oriented samples from five sections (combined thickness of 75 m) of the red bed Tecomazuchil Formation, southern Mexico are reported. The formation has been assigned to the Bathonian(?)-Callovian, and the sections studied cover its uppermost portion. Alternating field...
